MSNBC has Live Coverage of the Protests (including Unions and National Student Walkouts...Live Now!

[KoKo]

Tamron Hall is doing her whole show on it and they will cover the 4:00 p.m. march with the Unions.

It's been good so far. Also Dylan Ratigan is there.

Ezra Klein, Daily Beast and other Media and bloggers are being interviewed.

Here's link to Tamron on MSNBC: Show Live:

1. Well Andrea Mitchell (Greenspan) was just on a few minutes ago snarking about the movement

and the fact that "no one knows what they want".

I know... I know... but I too wish they could focus on something. My first choice would be to overturn Citizend United AND institute full public financing of all campaigns. In other words - get the INFLUENCE OF MONEY OUT OF GOVERNMENT.

[valerief]

Mrs. Greenspan is the enemy. Eff her. nt

[peace frog]

5. Um, they have indeed "focused on something"

and it could not be more clear.

[CTyankee]

6. Just take a wild guess, Mrs. G. ...

[tularetom]

11. I don't think she really wants to know

The answer would hit a little bit too close to home.

[jwirr]

15. The reform of campaign funding would go a long way toward fixing

a lot of problems.

[cyberpj]

17. Agreed. If protesters would get it down to a slogan maybe Republicans could understand it. nt

2. If Dylan is so against Bought Government why doens't he fight against Citizens' United?

Instead he starts his own movement along with other republicans so he can get more visibility and sell more books.

There he goes pumping his own organization. Oh look there is the web page.

[KoKo]

10. He is fighting to get money out of Govt. He's started a group devoted to

getting action. :shrug:

[flamingdem]

21. He's got his republican friend on McKinnon to pump up his project

I guess that some people think it's fine that republicans are Dylan's constituency, except for the "progressives" who don't realize he's a conservative agrandizing himself with his project.

3. And this protest started how many days ago?

:grr:

[KoKo]

18. She said media is covering because of the 700 Arrested and the Pepper Spraying

incident. She said no one knew how long the protest would last but she said that it's growing and getting help from Unions coming in and today's march is going to be thousands.

She talked about how well organized it is with different stations for food, sleeping, medical aid. She really had good coverage. There's another show on now. I think they will pick it up with Dylan's show at 4:00 around when the big march starts.

[AlinPA]

4. He is yelling as he is being "interviewed" by some airhead reporter or anchor.

[EFerrari]

7. Is there a plain old Live Stream somewhere?

[KoKo]

8. UPDATE: Can't get video of her show on now to work from MSNBC site

Sorry...it won't work from my computer. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

9. I hope it's the traffic!

[KoKo]

14. Hope so too. I watching on TV...Tamron is doing an excellent job...

Interviewing Justin Elliot on Salon at the march right now. The Union March with the OWS starts at 4:30 and MSNBC seems to be staying with it.


She's now interviewing different Union members...Transit Workers Rep now about how some of their union members got arrested.

It's very exciting watching it. Dylan Ratigan said this movement is an echo from the protests that started right after the Bailout...and said that the energy went into Obama waiting to see what he would do on the Left and the TeaParty on the Right until they got co-opted by the money and influence. He said that this is now a huge movement across party lines about "THE PEOPLE" and it's filling the void of all the anger and frustration that hasn't had an outlet beyond political squabbling. I thought that was an interesting observation.

19. Thanks! I'm sticking with the TV to see how media does..but this is great for

those at work. :hi:

[EFerrari]

20. I've decided to keep resisting the corporate media.

lol

:hi:

13. Tamaron Hall is on live talking with real people openly

She said something about the media not showing up no one has talked yet about the Tea party being a brain child of the M$M

[sce56]

16. Here is her Facebook Page she has a lame poll question

https://www.facebook.com/TamronHall
Tamron Hall asked: Do you think the “Occupy Wall Street” movement will have the same impact as the Tea Party movement?

Yes



No



I asked for a better one hit like on it maybe they will "Get It"
Who is the more legitimate Grass Roots movement? Occupy Wall Street or the Tea Party. That is a poll ? you should ask.

22. Liar!!! There are numerous threads claiming all media has ignored them
